Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are the most requested cookie in my house. There is something about a chewy chocolate chip cookie with slightly crisp edges and gooey chocolate chips, gulped down with a cold glass of whole milk. I have made many cookie recipes and this one turned out to be my family’s favorite, I hope it can be yours too! It is a small recipe and makes 6 cookies but can easily be doubled or tripled! I try not to have 24 cookies sitting around my house so I enjoy a small, quick cookie recipe. This recipe can also be altered for a regular sugar cookie recipe- swap out brown sugar for sugar and remove chocolate chips. You can also ad a splash of almond extract along with the vanilla.
